Lawmakers push bills to approve Keystone pipeline

Lawmakers in both chambers of Congress said Friday they are moving forward with bills introduced this week to pluck the power of approving the Keystone XL pipeline, which would run from Canada's oil sands to Texas, from the hands of the Obama administration.

Yea, we gotta help China get all that Canadian Oil. We don't care how high gas prices go here in the USA, as long as China gets low prices. Who cares if it's an environmental disaster? We should be willing to take the risk so oil barons can make more money.

How hot does that toxic sludge have to be before it can be pumped through the pipeline?

Can anyone imagine the air around any refinerythat refines that garbage? But, no problema, Texans love the smell of hot, boiling, tar-sands sludge. Next to ripe cow sh*t, it's their favorite. The ladies love it.

LMAO.........you're both so full of bullshit...it overwhelms your brain.

Tar sands are like hot liquid sandpaper, corroding pipelines faster and risking oil spills along the route. A tar sands spill near rivers, lakes, and other water bodies causes much more harm than a conventional oil spill because tar sands oil can sink and seriously complicate cleanup efforts.

Shortly after the spill, people in the vicinity began reporting “strong, noxious odors and associated health symptoms.” According to a 2010 report by the Michigan Department of Community Health, in the weeks after the spill, health officials identified 145 patients who reported illness or symptoms associated with the leak. As of spring 2012, the cleanup is continuing with nearly 400 acres identified as having a significant amount of submerged tar sands oil. Its cost is estimated at $725 million.

<quoted text>That's what you ahole colored greenies said about the Alaska pipeline..."OMG, leaks, damagae etc....we'll all die."Much worse conditions.....not a problem yet after 5 decades..LMAOGo see your proctologist and have your head removed, boy.

Veto them. We don't need temporary jobs, massive spills, and more revenues for Canada when they sell the oil abroad.

Great Post!!!!!

I agree 100%.

We the People won; we placed the only qualified guy in the White House (for a 2nd time) that we wanted who we deemed to make all of the decisions on what’s a go and what’s not. After his brilliant leadership led to the killing of Osama bin Laden the American people fully trust all of his decisions and we don’t want to hear anything from the idiot right-wingers who had 9-11 and Katrina happen on their watch.

9/11 happend due to the ineptness of democrats clinton/gore letting al queda run wild.

Katrina was due to the incompetence of a democrat governor and the now charged thief, nagin......

Sequoia Interests Corporation (Pink Sheets:SQNC), developer of a new proprietary enhanced oil recovery Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a generic term for techniques for increasing the amount of oil that can be extracted from an oil field. Using EOR, 30-60 %, or more, of the reservoir's original oil can be extracted [1] compared with 20-40%[2] chemical formulation, is very pleased to report the Company's DiamondFlo(TM) has yielded stellar results in displacing oil from Canadian Tar Sand tar sand or bituminous sand

Oil recovered from tar sands, commonly referred to as synthetic crude, is a potentially significant form of fossil fuel. samples in laboratory tests. DiamondFlo(TM) displaced a significant quantity of the adhered oil from tar sand samples in the initial feasibility tests. Work is now underway to define the precise degree of oil removal and to optimize the oil removal process using DiamondFlo(TM).

The Canadian Tar Sands Tar sands is a common name of what are more properly called bituminous sands, but also commonly referred to as oil sands or (in Venezuela) extra-heavy oil. They are a mixture of sand or clay, water, and extremely heavy crude oil. fields are recognized as the mother lode Mother Lode, belt of gold-bearing quartz veins, central Calif., along the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The term is sometimes limited to a strip c.70 mi (110 km) long and from 1 to 6 1-2 mi (1.6–10.5 km) wide, running NW from Mariposa. of hydrocarbons on Earth. Conservative estimates of oil reserves Oil reserves refer to portions of oil in place that are claimed to be recoverable under economic constraints.

Oil in the ground is not a "reserve" unless it is claimed to be economically recoverable, since as the oil is extracted, the cost of recovery increases incrementally in the surrounding area of Fort McMurray, Alberta Fort McMurray, is a community in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, in the northeastern part of Alberta, Canada. Although it is commonly referred to and thought of as being a city, Fort McMurray is not incorporated., Canada total 1.6 trillion barrels of oil, of which 330 billion barrels of oil are deemed recoverable. By comparison, Saudi Arabia has proven reserves of 262 billion barrels of oil. A primary difficulty in developing the Tar Sands region is extraction. The oil does not flow as crude from other oil producing regions but is more akin to a molasses-like sand. Separation of oil from the sands is the major challenge to development.

Report that when you drive your SUV to your next protest meeting..make sure and clean the bong before you go. LMAO

Why is it when Republicans lose they still get to ram-rod all their crap through? They always pull this crap! They don't like it--keep wearing the people down and even threaten or black-mail- they'll do what ever it takes to keep their big business buddies happy. How many times do they bring up DOMA or the deufnding of the Affordable Health Care Act. You'd think they won in a landslide because they keep hammering away at the same old chit. This is just another example of thier attitude of they know better than the voting public. Get rid of all Republicans in 2014!
